[su_spoiler title=”AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PEACE SONG” style=”fancy” icon=”plus-square-1″]Imani’s appeal for Peace within the African Black Globally Community, as well as for their Unity.
The Peace song is a tribute to the minister & messenger the Honourable Robert (Bob), Nesta Marley, written in honour of his memory, due to his contribution to the upliftment of the African family through his message of PEACE / LOVE and UNITY.Within the verses of the Peace Song, you can find much historical information. Imani also reiterates the aspirations & words of both the Rt. Hon Marcus Moziah Garvey & His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, as he often does, by quoting these two great black visionaries “Unity is Strength”. This lyric is designed to petition people, particularly black people to stop killing one another and finally come together as ONE in UNITY & PEACE. Rhythm composed by Smikel, in 1998.[/su_spoiler]
